A memorial service will be Sunday at Lookout Mountain Presbyterian Church for a mother of five boys who was killed in a wreck at the foot of Ochs Highway earlier this week.

Rachel Bode Tucker was 42.

She was born in Bradenton, Fla., and was a 1999 graduate of Covenant College.

Her obituary says she was "the mother of five amazing boys, a successful entrepreneur and a servant to her friends and family.  She always strived to make the world a more beautiful place through her smile, painting, digital design, custom home decor, and tirelessly caring for her boys, friends and family.

  She was steadfast, dedicated, loyal, faithful, hard working, loving, humble, and dearly loved by all who knew her.  Most importantly, she was a faithful servant to her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ."

She is survived by her parents, James and Peggy Bode of Lookout Mountain, Ga., her sister, Laura Davis of Charlotte, N.C., and her five boys, Bode, Myers, Davis, Lyndon and Urban Tucker of Lookout Mountain, Ga.

The reception of friends and family will be at 2:30 p.m. with the memorial service at 4 p.m.
